I never seen something like that. I think anybody in the world forgive Greg as a best diver in the world. Many blessings for him.

@Jsblook He is gay! Im not afraid of homosexuals. I'm not a "homophobe". It's just a Factual Statement. He is a homosexual.

@Jenlove26 yeah he was adopted by caucasian parents. i have his book breaking the surface and there are pictures of them and they are caucasian. i knew his father is samoan but i didn't know that his birth mom was european. well we all know samoans are beautiful people i mean just look at him.

@MsSherri13 yeah i kno huh? he's handsom even now he is. but i read that he was adopted by caucasian parents but biologically he's half samoan and caucasian. his biological father is full samoan from polynesia and his mother is of european decent gorgeous huh?

@VibeFly thats why i love greg so much he's so humble and nice. i would love to meet him. i really hope i get the chance to one day thats one of my wishes. thats why i think that greg is the best romodel out there....because he is so nice and he would do anything for his fans.

@Jibjub80 i think he tried to tell the doctor about it but the doctor was more worried about greg's head then any thing else so really it's not greg's fault. yes he didn't wear gloves but thats not greg's fault.....my mom was a nurse and when i was little i use to go to work with her and i saw the docotors and they always wore gloves. i'm not saying it's the doctors fault but it wasn't greg's either.

@fullflava that is so true. back then every body was so worried and no one really knew how it was passed but i think it's different now (at lease i hope it is). people need to know that you can't catch it by breathing on any one or eating off of the same plate. you would think people would be more educated these days.

@Jibjub80 i think he is. he told the doctor after it happened and i think the doctor got tested and he was fine. greg would never do anything to indanger any one else. he was just scared to tell any one because he really wanted to compete....i'm sure if he thought he would put any one in danger he wouldn't have let the doctor do it. actually i think he tried to stop him from doing it.

@usakayakchick oh i remember that. i didn't see it but i heard about it. thats why for years greg was scared to do that dive. i saw the one where gred hit his head.....it was so scary, i thought he was dead for sure but when he came out of the water i was so happy. that was really the last time i watched diving....i couldn't watch it any more after that. i'm just glad he was ok.
